I really enjoyed the opportunity to guest lecture at Megan Raby’s Perspectives class this week. The class is all about relating history to math and science.  Michelle Tat came with and we ran through the Navigation Field trip activities we created for the La Belle Exhibit at the Texas State History Museum.  Alex Li also came to assist the afternoon class.

Measuring speed the old fashioned way! Throw something overboard and “sail” past counting the seconds.

Making a parallel ruler.
